I wish there would have been an option for both being able to fill the gap and being to late. If the phone works well out of the box it could prove to be a market success. The issue is that if it had been earlier it would have been positioned better-especially versus the Droid.

I wish them well as I like competition, and competition tends to force companies to develop better products. I do believe this to be a make or break deal for Microsoft in the mobile market. If they come out with a properly working phone without glitches then they have a shot, but if they produce a phone with glitches/issues they might as well call it a day in this market- at least for several years.
